sessions either a 4 or 5 (on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 as “the
best”).
"Ann is truly interested in clients and their needs. She
listens, evaluates, and then makes recommendations. She does not
have 'cookie cutter' solutions. Her solutions are focused on individuals."
— Rick Elder, Owner, American Eagle Public
Relations, Mesa, AZ
“Our session helped me narrow my focus and brand my work.”
— Molly Idle, Owner, Idle
Illustration, Tempe, AZ
“A Videan Unlimited strategic brainstorming session offers
each participant years of marketing experience distilled down into
nuggets of invaluable facts laying the foundation in both a marketing
and a business sense. I loved the way Ann had the session outlined
out with objectives and parameters — conversation was facilitated,
but the group was kept effectively on track throughout. I valued
the openness and acceptance of the ideas the group generated. I
think everyone felt they could truly express their thoughts.”
— Kalisa Turanchik, now Marketing Manager,
WorldAtWork, Scottsdale, AZ (formerly with Varsity Gold), Gilbert,

get beyond a barrier, a Videan Unlimited brainstorming will really

“This session will help you identify your business priorities,
develop creative plans to address them, and begin to implement
the solutions.”
— Tracy Singer, Marketing and PR, Syntellect,
Phoenix, AZ
“The process was structured but not too formal – just
right to generate a free flow of ideas. The session was just the
right length – long enough to really get the ideas perking,
but not so long we all ran out of steam. I thought the honesty
was very valuable.”
— Carolyne Kennedy, PR
counsel,
Phoenix, AZ
“I think the best part of the session was it allowed me
to ‘get out of the box’ about my own situation and
think differently. I was able to clarify and bring together a lot
of random ideas and thoughts. If you want to get some strong creativity,
with reality, in a short time, you need to do it.”

Presentations Kudos
“After attending two group sessions of powerful
public relations and marketing ideas presented by Ann Videan I
couldn’t wait
to hire her for my own small business. She is an enlightened, effective
presenter who has the uncanny ability to tap multiple inner resources
and pull creative ideas out of nowhere, each idea exploding into
hundreds of others. She is able to deliver communications, PR,
and marketing solutions to not only specifically challenged small-business
owners but to corporate environments equally effectively. Every
minute counts in her dynamic presentations, and her value to the
success of my business has been absolutely immeasurable.”

the interactive nature. Great thoughts from so many. In addition,
this is a great networking tool to meet others in a learning environment.
This morning was a ‘win, win, win!’"
